Is This Beauty Pageant Controversy Too Ugly?

Personally, I'm one of the last people to say they see eye-to-eye with Miss California. But I can't shake the feeling that a sister is getting unfairly burned. Today's media storm: Gossip blog The Dirty posted pics of a teenage Carrie Prejean topless in pink underwear. Last week it was all about that infamous boob job. What began as a mass bombing on her views on gay marriage has quickly escalated into a full-on attack of her body parts, and you have to admit that if Prejean were a man, the argument might not have gone this way. Then again, don't you sign up for the ultimate physical scrutiny when you enter a beauty pageant? Sure, that's as arguable as whether gay marriage should be legal or not, but at this point, the whole thing just seems ugly, period.
